Over the last few weeks, a documentary crew from BBC1 North West have been popping in to film a behind the scenes look at what I do and my working life.
This was shown last Fri (29/2/08) on BBC1 Inside Out North West; the production team behind it offered to do a link so all MoneySavers could watch it if they wanted.
Like any documentary, the fact it's there doesn't mean I agree with all of it, or would've interpreted it in the same way. It's fascinating to see someone else's take on my life and work yet I'll leave you to work out which bits I enjoyed and which made me hide my head under the pillow.

What a lot of work! Not to mention working hours - 90 hours per week (now dropped to 65) was like two 'normal' job weeks isn't it?Loving freebies:coffee::rotfl:0

Ah my default for watching this one was Realplayer; this meant that with one click, I could watch in full screen mode,(Albeit somewhat hazy ).
For It Pays to Watch and other UTube images, is there a similar way of blowing up the image to full screen?

Hi Harry,
You can watch all You tube videos full screen by clicking the last button just below the viewing screen, above and to the right of where it says Flag.
Hope this helps

Ive seen Martin on TV at 7am, and then seen him post a reply to comments on his site at midnight the same day. A truly dedicated consumer champion.
